Does nothing at all. I have the flashing white light for the activation, then goes to “checking connection” for ~5 minutes and then comes back with “something’s not right” and then wants me to schedule an appointment with a tech in 3 weeks. This is utterly insane and 1 day into being an xfinity customer I am regretting it heavily
user_zqpbbh Hi there! Our team will be happy to help with activation! Can you initiate a direct message and start with your full name and address? To start a direct message, you must be signed in.

Connect it to the coax line / outlet and power it up. Let it fully sync up with the system. Check that the front or the top panel indicator light(s) is / are steadily lit.
Then connect a computer to it and open up a browser. You *may* see their *Walled Garden* modem self registration page. If so, follow the screen prompts. Have your mobile telephone number, your Xfinity username and password, or the account number and telephone number associated with your Comcast account handy.
If not, try calling 1-855-652-3446. That is their self-install device activation line.
If that doesn't work for you, you can call 1-800-comcast and tell a rep that you would like to have a new modem provisioned for service. Have the RF / CM / HFC MAC address and the serial number of it handy when you call.

What exactly is going wrong ? Did you send that requested direct message to the employee ?
